Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's long-term strategy is to help tackle the risk of lobular breast cancer.

Improving early diagnosis of cancer, including lobular breast cancer, is a priority for the Government. The Department will improve cancer survival rates and hit all National Health Service cancer waiting time targets, so that no patient waits longer than they should.

We are working with cancer partners, including charities and patient representative bodies, to develop a National Cancer Plan. The plan will include more details about how to improve outcomes for all tumour types, including lobular breast cancer.
